Bridges Runner

Holy smokes!  I just looked and the last time I wrote here?  Over a month ago?!  Where the heck does time go?  I've been super busy with preparing for the big move.  As I mentioned, I am in the process of buying a place over in Brooklyn!  That's right - I'm moving to that far off land of Brooklyn:-p I'm super excited and now wait for my board interview then the check writing exercise also known as the closing;)    So it looks like sometime in mid/end of May I'll be a homeowner! Woohoo!

Running wise.  I signed up for marathon #6.  I'm heading back to the scene of my best marathon: Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC.  October 25.  I'm finally getting back into the running thing as I've just been swamped at work and dealing with the apartment stuff.  I also was burnt out from last fall.  But now it's time to go back in and get focused.  I don't think a time needs to be mentioned on where I'd like to be as I cross the finish line;-)

I ran a couple of races in the past few weeks: Mudders&Grunters and Cherry Blossom 10 miler.  I didn't race either. My time for Cherry Blossom was a respectable 8:19 pace.  I never felt like I was hurting and had someone come up to me at the end and say "Great race, thanks for pacing me."  See, even when I don't mean to I'm a pacemaster!

I've got the Brooklyn Half coming up on May 30th!  Hopefully it'll be a real short commute to Prospect Park;-)
